Noticed that Dad was wearing a "Sandbar" T-shirt. Either you're from Bradenton, FL area or you vacation here. Great place to be.

When my husband and I still lived in Kenmore, he simply told them he was self-employed (we owned a bar) and because we had less than three employees, he was excused. I don't know if the rules have changed, but at the time it was that simple

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t make decisions about my father dying based on money.
So much for previous testimony. Which is the law in Florida.
Not going to change the way you feel Bill, but you’re wrong on this one, though its just my opinion…..
I think the Divorce rate in this country is about 50%. So the death do us part argument is moot. You really need to take you focus point off the money.
If you want to get into semantics I will, or even the church. S’up to you? But you need to let this go. Let her die in peace, and wish her well in Heaven.
Amen

Thus my point. Fundamentally, what keeps us all from being merely pieces of meat is what makes us persons. The person that is Terry Schiavo is gone. What's left, in a very real sense, is a slab of soulless organic material.
Is it crude and disrespectful to point that out? Hell, yes...and no more so than keeping the empty shell of what was once a person in a state that physically meets a biological definition of "alive" after the person who inhabited it is GONE. Like I've been saying: the only choices in this situation are wrong. You can either keep alive indefinitely a functionally dead person, or kill a functionally living organism. Or, you can fight over it like a pack of vultures (*SPLAT*), as everyone involved is doing now...and yet, I'm the one that's crude and disrespectful.
At least most of us did not call her a "piece of meat."

VABills, you have not proven that the husband received more money than the $1 million ($700,000 into trust for Terri's care). The links you have posted lead back to a website that is biased towards the parents. No newspaper article I have read here in Florida or any news stations have ever mentioned more than the $1 million received from the malpractice. Of course some are left wing: ABC, CNN, CBS and FOX is right wing; they all lie. I guess that leaves NBC. Again they have not mentioned any more money than I have previously mentioned.
Yes, he might sell his story. But remember, the parents probably will also!!!!
So who's right, who's wrong? It's not for us to say. But this case has gone through seven years of litigation. This was not done in a "rush" as some are claiming.
To erynthered, I agree, let Terri have peace.

To Crap Throwing Monkey, I find you extremely crude and disrespectful calling Terri Shiavo "a piece of meat". I think that is demeaning to the person she once was and to those who loved her.
To those who claim that the husband will be rich when this is over, where's the proof? Has any of you seen this so-called policy that will make him a rich man? He sure didn't become rich from the malpractice suit.
While, again, I am not choosing sides, let's at least not be rumor-mongors like the media. Have some sympathy for the family that is going through this, both the husband and the parents. Have some sympathy for Terri and let her have peace whether she lives or dies.

Great looking car, but unfortunately my budget wouldn't allow for one. I "settled" for just a 2005 Mustang. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but still a sharp looking Mustang compared to the why they've looked for years.

What I find so amazing is that people are so willing to believe the worst of the husband. I'm not saying he is right to have the feeding tube removed, but why now after 15 years is he being accused of abuse? Why wasn't he accused then? There was no falling out with her parents until he received the malpractice settlement (which most of went for Terri's care) and he didn't give them any.
My biggest problem with this whole situation is the way government (FL State Legislature, Jeb Bush, U.S. Congress, G.W.) has interfered. I don't like the fact that they jumped in even after this case had been looked at by 19 judges and a multitude of doctors who have stated that there is no hope for recovery from this vegetative state.
The latest doctor who has stated that she is misdiagnosed just read her medical records and viewed the video tapes. He has not done an thorough examination of her. Is that the way to make a proper diagnosis?

Open competition is the best way to go. To the guy who called Testeverde "decent", who were you watching. He's been inconsistent with every team he has played with.

I have partied in this "Bills Room." Good job, bro!!!! That was a cool display. And by the way, NJ Sue, you're pushing the birthday. It's not belated yet

A few months ago there was a post on where to order Buffalo foods on-line. I know about www.buffalofoods.com but someone mentioned another website. Any information would be appreciated.

I switched from Alltel to Verizon. No problem at all with keeping the same number. It is as easy as it sounds.
